In view of the imperfect education system of preparatory courses for studying abroad in China, Xiamen University International College was formally established in March 2005 with the formal approval of the Ministry of Education. As a school specializing in preparatory education for studying abroad, Xiamen University International College aims to provide high-quality, standardized preparatory education and related services for students preparing to study abroad. Its establishment has successfully filled the gap in the preschool education system in Fujian and some surrounding provinces.

1. A new form of Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools

Xiamen University cooperates with china scholarship council (CSC), Scottish Academic Qualifications Board (SQA) and relevant international educational institutions to provide international pre-university courses for students. Students who pass the qualification examination of the preparatory college for studying abroad can go directly to universities in major English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and Canada to study undergraduate, master or undergraduate courses, and students with excellent grades may also receive scholarships or credit relief.

2. A new and practical curriculum system.

The curriculum system of International College adopts international education standards, and combines English intensive training, specialized basic courses and moral education with the characteristics of China students, so as to clear the obstacles for students' future study. Through preparatory study, China students will be able to fully adapt to their future study in foreign universities in terms of language, learning methods and cultural life.

Nearly 1 1,000 mainstream computers have been added to the public computer room, and a public teaching server has been set up, which enables the school headquarters to communicate with the campus system and fully realize resource sharing.

The residents around Zhangzhou Campus where the International College is located are simple and honest. The local government and school leaders attach great importance to the safety work inside and outside the campus. Campus security agencies and local public security departments work in place and efficiently, fully ensuring the safety and stability of the campus. Since the establishment of the college, the working environment has been safe and stable, and teachers and students can teach and work with peace of mind.
